Chapter 33: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
During the time that Zhang Qiang and I lived with Sister Hong, I was stunned that I had never seen Sister Hong cook or enter the kitchen.
Originally, I thought about going out with Sister Hong to buy some food and bring it back, but this time Sister Hong was very insistent and had to cook by herself.
I knew that she was afraid that Brother Jian's ghost would come back to settle accounts with her, so she wanted to do it herself, so she didn't stop it.
But I didn't think about it, Sister Hong's cooking still looks good, although the things made are not very good, but at least they don't look bad, at least they are much better than the finished products I thought.
Even Zhang Qiang couldn't help but praise a few words.
The custom here is that for the first seven soul nights, after the family prepares the meal, they have to avoid it, that is, hide in the quilt, even if they can't sleep, they have to be covered by their heads, no matter what sound they hear, they must not make a sound, and they must not go out to show their faces.
It is said that this is also the fear that the deceased will see their loved ones, so they are reluctant to leave and invite trouble.
And in our Tangquan Village, on the first seven days, there is a tradition of burning the ladder, and Zhang Qiang has seen it several times in the village.
But there is no such thing in the city, so we will follow the local customs.
We don't need to explain more, Sister Hong got into the quilt early in the morning after making a meal, and refused to show her head when she said anything, Zhang Qiang and I saw that it was too early, so we sat on the side and chatted, and when it was time for the child, we didn't dare to make a mistake, we lifted the quilt and got in, and lay down in our clothes.
As soon as Sister Hong saw us coming in, she hugged me directly, I wanted to break her hand, but I felt that her body was shaking all the time, and I felt compassion, so I let her go. I thought to myself, it's just this night anyway, and I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future.
Just after the hour, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the window, the night wind whistled and blew, we got into the quilt, and we were very scared, where could we sleep, and listened to the movement outside with our ears pricked up.
This kind of darkness when you can't see anything is the most drumming in your heart.
At that moment, we heard the squeak of the closed door, and the sharp and terrifying sound made my back sweat.
Sister Hong grabbed my hand very tightly, her palms were damp, and she was terrified to the extreme.
Tintin ......
Tintin ......
After a few whirlings, something else sounded outside, and it sounded like the sound of something hitting a dish.
But in this room, there are only me, Zhang Qiang and Sister Hong, and now the three of us are in the quilt, and what is moving the dishes outside can be imagined......
I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out, and Sister Hong was also nervous and left my fingers off, I endured the pain and didn't dare to say a word.
Sister Hong trembled and whispered, "Come on...... It's coming, isn't it coming? ”
As soon as I heard Sister Hong speak, I secretly screamed badly, and I stretched out my hand to block Sister Hong's mouth completely according to the feeling, but as soon as this hand stretched out, it directly touched a soft and hot thing, I was startled, and quickly removed my hand, my face was very hot, so I had to shout in the dark.
Sister Hong didn't speak again, so we listened with bated breath to the tinkling sounds outside from time to time.
The sound lasted for a while, we were stunned to maintain a good posture and didn't dare to move, after a while, the voice was gone, Sister Hong couldn't hold her breath, and asked me in a low voice: "Are you leaving?" ”
I grabbed her hand and shook it, motioning for her not to say anything more, and to wait a little longer, no one was sure now.
Sister Hong also understood what I meant, didn't say more, and still lay motionless.
Just like that, about twenty minutes passed, there was no sound outside quietly, the silence was scary, but Sister Hong couldn't hold back, the whole person lifted the quilt and exposed it from the inside, Zhang Qiang and I were affected by her and also showed our heads, I lowered my voice and scolded: "Didn't you say don't come out?" Hurry up and get in. ”
"But I want to go to the bathroom......"
Sister Hong was a little helpless with her legs between her legs, "I was so scared just now, I wanted to pee when I was nervous, I saw that there had been no movement outside for so long, I should have left, you just let me go." ”
Before I could say anything, Zhang Qiang accosted me and said: Brother Ze, in my opinion, I should have left without movement for so long, don't talk about her, I also want to go to the toilet to release water now, it's scary!
I shook my head, don't say much, wait, I always feel that Brother Jian is still outside at all.
"I can't."
Sister Hong replied with a pout, but she was still more obedient, she didn't move, and there was no movement outside, and there was no movement outside, and it was so stalemate for a few minutes, this Sister Hong probably couldn't hold it anymore, and no matter what I said, she jumped off the bed and ran out of the door, chanting while running: "No, no!" I couldn't hold it anymore and was going to pee my pants. ”
Zhang Qiang also pulled his mouth and laughed, I instinctively jumped out of bed and wanted to stop her, but I was still a step too late.
Sister Hong opened the door of the house, and a strong wind blew in from outside the door, blowing so hard that I couldn't open my eyes.
The uneasiness in my heart was even stronger.
ran towards the door in three or two steps, and after Sister Hong opened the door, she didn't rush out to go to the toilet, and the whole person stayed at the door trembling.
I ran over to take a look, and suddenly my eyes were so frightened that my eyes were straight, and my legs were weak, so I grabbed the door frame so that I didn't collapse on the ground.
At the small table outside the door, there was a black figure, and when he saw us open the door, he turned his head, the corners of his mouth were exaggerated upward, and his miserable giggling was particularly terrifying, which made people chill all over.
Isn't it Brother Jian!
I turned my head to look at Sister Hong, and said eagerly: "Quick, close the door quickly!" ”
But Sister Hong didn't react at all, at this time Zhang Qiang also felt that something was wrong, he jumped over from the bed, and when he saw that there was a snort outside the door, he almost didn't fall to the ground, Brother Jian giggled and approached us, I didn't care about the weak legs, gritted my teeth and threw the stunned Sister Hong to the side, and closed the door and locked it.
Zhang Qiang leaned beside me and asked tremblingly, "Ze...... Brother Ze, was that Brother Jian just now? Isn't it like I'm dazzled? ”
I ignored him, and said that this kid just wanted to deceive himself and look at the occasion.
As it is, is it self-deception that can be avoided?
Sister Hong was stupid, and at this time she was still motionless in the posture of being pushed aside by me, which is not to blame her, who do you say can you not be afraid of this matter, especially Sister Hong is still a woman, even Zhang Qiang and I are also afraid.
I asked Zhang Qiang to get back into the quilt quickly, although I didn't know that Sister Hong was so troubled, so that Brother Jian's soul saw that we were hiding in the house, the trick of drilling the quilt didn't work, but now we have no other better way, Brother Jian is staying outside, we can't get out, so we can only ask for more blessings in the house.
I can only pray that this trick of drilling the quilt will still work now.
As soon as Zhang Qiang heard my words, he lifted the quilt and got into it without saying a word, shaking and shaking inside, I pulled Sister Hong's hand, the tip of her hand was cold, I shook it, and shouted: "Sister Hong, hurry!" Hurry up under the covers. ”
But Sister Hong didn't react.
I didn't have time to say more, I was going to get her on the bed while holding Sister Hong's waist, but this hug, I realized that I really overestimated my small body, Sister Hong is a mature and sensual woman, not only did I not give it a hug, but I almost flashed my waist.
At this moment, the door was slammed outside.
As far as that strength is concerned, I don't think it will take a few strokes, and this door will be explained here.
If this is really allowed in, then our little life is probably over.
Thinking of this, I was a spirit, and I didn't care about anything else, so I stretched out my hand and threw two big mouths at Sister Hong's face, the situation was urgent, and I didn't spare any effort in these two slaps.
Sister Hong's face immediately swollen up.
Fortunately, after being slapped twice by me, Sister Hong finally reacted, she grabbed my hand and cried, "What about Su Ze?" He saw me, he must have seen me. ”
I said don't talk too much, hurry to bed.
At this point, it's useless to say more.
I'm just a scum who has been bullied by ghosts since I was a child, and I'm scared to death at this time, what can I do.
Sister Hong nodded, took my hand and re-entered the quilt with me.
Zhang Qiang put his hands together inside, and he didn't know which way he was asking for immortals.
The banging outside the door was getting louder and louder.
Finally......
There was a snap......
The door was slammed open......
The three of us held our breath at the same time, quietly waiting for our fate.
Outside, there was no sound at all.
Sister Hong has beads of sweat on her head, and Zhang Qiang and I are certainly not much better than her.
At this moment, Sister Hong suddenly sat up straight in the quilt, her action, the quilt was suddenly raised, and I was exposed to a foot next to me, I was scared, and quickly reached out to pull the quilt to cover herself, and at the same time pulled her with my hands, wanting to tear her down and lie down, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, before I grabbed Sister Hong, she actually lifted the quilt directly and got out of bed......
And I completely overturned the quilt because of her movements, and the whole person was exposed.
But I am also a person with an extremely high desire to survive, and when I saw that the whole person was exposed, I rolled on the bed and wrapped the quilt again, revealing only half of my head and a pair of eyes outside.
Brother Jian stood outside the door and didn't come in, even though the door had been knocked open by him, and now it was open to the side, he was still grinning with the boss's mouth, smiling evilly, and staring at Sister Hong with his eyes.
Sister Hong kicked her steps and walked towards him mechanically step by step.
I saw that Sister Hong was about to fall into the mouth of the tiger, and I didn't care about being afraid, so I opened my mouth and shouted: "Sister Hong, Sister Hong, come back quickly!" You're coming back! ”
Sister Hong didn't hear it, and still walked towards Brother Jian.
I really had no choice but to leave the quilt, run out of bed barefoot, and reach out to pull Sister Hong's arm......
